[QUOTE="The Stray, post: 8905493, member: 21691"] First, affirm that OGL 1.0a is irrevocable, and that all prior content made under it can be used in perpetuity. Then issue a 1.0b with those words actually in the license. The 1.0b would be placed outside of company control. If the ORC is up by then (depending on terms) I'd reissue the existing SRDs under the ORC and the 1.0b. That cleans up the current mess. to go further, and as a show of good will, I'd issue SRDs (dual-licensed under 1.0b and the ORC) for 1e, 2e, and 4e. I'd revise the license for DM's Guild to be less terrible and predatory with regards to content ownership. Then I'd hire a bunch of good designers (at much better rates) and restructure the company as a worker-owned co-op. From there, wed work out next steps to maintain the brand and keep customer engagement high. I don't know what the next steps would be...probably a new edition, designed to be as modular as possible to allow for the varied styles of play people want. I'd do what I can to support my preferred style of play, but I want ALL styles to have support. I'd also like to sponsor some sort of "DMing Camp" for people, with classes for all the things people usually have to learn on their own. And then I'd buy a pony. Made of diamonds. [/QUOTE]
